On Endings and Goodbyes (sniff): 1. Best ending of a movie/book/TV showMovie: Dad….Wanna have a catch? (Field of Dreams)Book: The ending to The Color PurpleTV Show: The ending of the second Bob Newhart Show – when he’s back in Chicago with Suzanne Pleshette’s character, treating the entire series in Vermont as a dream/nightmare.

Recently I got into a non-debate with my daughter, “S”. I say it was a “non-debate” because she was wanting to engage me in one while I was rather engrossed in The War (the documentary by Ken Burns that’s been running on public broadcasting this past week).

As you can see, I’ve made some progress since last night. I didn’t have time to put the last pic in this group online as I “published” my last blog entry. The Endpaper Mitts are made from yarns in my stash – leftovers from an attempted sweater in the 1990s and a pair of socks recently made. Because the contrasting color is variegated, it’s harder … Continue reading Eunny Jang’s Endpaper Mitts
